Regions marked with PARENTREGION=# (# refers to parent region number) are loaded by UOX3 as "sub-regions". Entering or existing such a sub-region will not change the actual region a player is in, but they can be assigned a different MUSICLIST that will play instead of the music in the actual region the character is in. Sub-regions like these must have a lower region number than the region they're contained within
Fixed incorrect non-combat music entry [MUSICLIST COMBAT] section of dfndata/regions/regions.dfn
Added new music section to dfndata/regions/regions.dfn
[MUSICLIST DEATH] // Plays music from this list for players who are in the realm of the dead
Assigned different MOREZ value to each explosion potion (dfndata/item/magic/potions.dfn) to make distinguishing between them easier
Updated item stacking code to disallow stacking items that have different more, morex, morey, morez, buyvalue or sellvalue
Fixed issue where monsters would erroneously show context menu entries with skill training options
Fixed issue where some iron ore in GM add menu was showing up and being added as a brazier instead
Added baseRange and maxRange to 'tweak menu (js/command/targeting/tweak.js)
Added new Item property that can be used to associate an item with a custom server event:
DFN Tag:
EVENT=eventName // Name of event in one word, with no spaces
JS Property:
.event
Updated 'get, 'set, 'tweak and 'areacommand commands to support the new event property
Extended 'decorate command with some additional features to support saving, loading and unloading event decorations (example: xmas, halloween, etc):
'decorate saveevent eventName // Save all items with event property matching eventName to event_[eventName].jsdata
'decorate loadevent eventName // Load all items from event_[eventName].jsdata and assign eventName to their event property
'decorate unloadevent eventName // Clear up all items associated with eventName
Added some new house addons to house.dfn, and in the 'add menu, under Deeds > Houseaddon Deeds:
loom (south)
small forge
anvil (south/east)
spinning wheel (north/south/east/west)

oven (south)
large forge (east)
large forge (west)
large forge (north)
large forge (south)
Updated some house addons (bear rugs, pentagram) to be added from top-left to bottom right, for more consistency when placing items
Added a code-check when placing house-addons to see if there's space in multi to place addon at selected location, starting from coordinates of target location and checking tiles east and south of that location based on the addon's SPACEX and SPACEY settings in house.dfn
Added new script (js/server/house/houseAddonUse.js) that will restore the double-click functionality of some house addons that would lose their regular functionality in the process of becoming house addons, as their item type changed. The same script also adds some extra functionality to a couple of other house addons (looms and spinning wheels), allowing players to choose between using the addons and then targeting materials like yarn or wool or using the materials and then targeting the addons
Fixed an issue with the interior decorator tool that would allow using it outside one's house
Updated dictionary files
Fixed an issue with DoTempEffect JS function which prevented compilation on macOS (and potentially had unintended consequences)
Cleaned up a warning in sound.cpp
Added a bunch of additional door IDs to js/item/doors.js and dfndata/harditems/harditems.dfn
Fixed a few issues with various dictionary files
Corpse parts carved from human corpses will now have weight, and decay - as they're added as script items instead of base items
Fixed some memory leaks in CMultiObj::GetBuildTimestamp(), CMultiObj::GetTradeTimestamp(), CWorldMain::SaveNewWorld() and cEffects::tempeffect()
Misc smaller code cleanup
Replaced CDataList with the new GenericList class throughout UOX3, and removed CDataList from the project files
Reverted an earlier change where scriptsections were supposed to be reapplied to items bought from NPC shopkeepers - didn't actually work!
Fixed an issue where using JS Method PopUpTarget with ID 12 could crash the server
More string upgrades
Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
Added support for packet 0xE2 (New Character Animation, used to play animations in client v7.0.0.0+) via cEffects::PlayNewCharacterAnimation( CChar *mChar, UI16 actionID, UI16 subActionID, UI08 subSubActionID )
Added support for new animation packet in JS Character method DoAction() using a second parameter that specifies animation variation, which if present forces server to send new animation packet instead of old. This means the 'action/npcaction commands can now be used to play animations on gargoyles/humans in client v7.0.0.0+ using the following syntax: 'action [action subAction]
Created new enums for character actions and sub-actions, and updated code to refer to these instead of using "magic" numbers
Added new options in UOX.INI under [settings] section:
FORCENEWANIMATIONPACKET=0/1 // If enabled (default), forces the use of the new animation packet for playing various character animations for both NPCs in general and for player characters connected with client v7.0.0.0+
Updated various actions performed by players and NPCs to use new animation packet (combat, spellcasting, mining) if connected with client v7.0.0.0+ and ini setting to force new animation packet is enabled
Added basic support for gargoyle flying ability. Can now use flying ability itself to enter/exit flying state, and the state change will also get sent to nearby players. Flying players are treated the same way as mounted players; polymorph spells will auto-dismounts mounted/flying player, same rules for stealth applies to flying as riding, etc.
Exposed Character property to JS engine:
.isFlying // returns true if character is flying
Moved Orc and Ratman races from RACE 1 and 2 to RACE 22 and 23 in dfndata/race/races.dfn to make room for two new player races, that are applied to new player characters during character creation:
[RACE 1] - Elf
[RACE 2] - Gargoyle
Updated orcs and ratmen in dfndata/npc/humanoids.dfn with race IDs 22 and 23 respectively
Added items in dfndata/items/skills/tools/cooking.dfn to item menu under Skills > Tools > Cooking
Fixed an issue where moving items around within a container at max item capacity was not allowed
The GM command 'set can now modify a character's current mana using 'set mana #
Added JS command to get specific object property values (using same property names as 'set command):
'get [objectProperty]
Exposed Item/Character properties to JS:
.oldX // Previous X coordinate for object
.oldY // Previous Y coordinate for object
.oldZ // Previous Z coordinate for object
Exposed Character properties to JS:
.mana // Character's current amount of mana
Updated version of Winsock requested by UOX3 from 2.0 to 2.2
Exposed timer for updating NPC flags to [timers] section of UOX.INI:
NPCFLAGUPDATETIMER=5 // Interval in seconds between each time NPC flags are updated. Default adjusted down from 30 to 5 seconds
Fixed an issue where UOX3 was trying to output some debug/warning messages to console using the wrong console method
Made some small tweaks to NPC pathfinding to make NPCs more likely to pick a new target location when their old one is blocked
Added HP DFN tag to guard NPCs to prevent them from spawning with half health
Removed -lstdc++fs from Makefile and replaced with special instructions for users of gcc below v9.x
Fixed a buffer overrun issue with tiledata item names
Eliminated a bunch of compilation warnings in VS2017
Updated JS Method CreateDFNItem to allow creating items without referencing a socket/character. Syntax:
var myItem = CreateDFNItem( null, null, itemSectionID, amount, "ITEM", false, worldNumber, instanceID );
Added functional chessboard that operates on standard chess rules. Pieces cannot be removed from the board, snap to the chessboard grid when dropped, are subject to movement restrictions per chesspiece, will capture opponent pieces if landing on their square. Board can be reset by dragging king-piece off to the side of the board (js/item/gameboards.js and js/item/chesspiece.js)
Added functional checkerboard, with pieces that cannot be removed, can only move in diagonals, can jump across opponent pieces to capture them. Board can be reset by ??? (js/item/gameboards.js and js/item/checkerpiece.js)
Using the 'go command without any additional parameters will now open the GM travel menu (js/commands/go.js)
Undid dictionary rename from ENG to ENU and FRE to FRA; these are not actual language codes, but groups of language codes - ENU covers all English language codes, FRA covers all French ones.
Refined build notes
Updated Debug Information Format for Debug x64 platform in VS project properties to Program Database for Edit and Continue
Minor fix for a half-broken system (automatic adding of items to add-menu) that needs to be revamped or removed
Commented out some thread-locking code that was causing UOX3 to crash under certain circumstances
Fixed a few cases of threads sleeping for microseconds instead of milliseconds
Replaced all calls to UOXSleep with direct call to std::this_thread::sleep_for(), and removed UOXSleep function from funcdecl.h

Fixed an issue where crafting skills might consume the wrong resource if additional resources of the same ID but different color were present in player's backpack
Improved AmbientFootsteps feature so footstep sounds are played more in tune with character movement
AmbientFootsteps now also play for NPC movement
Changed how code handles randomizing between MINTIME and MAXTIME values from region spawners; now multiplies values by 60 (to get seconds) before randomizing, instead of after, to make use of full range of seconds between the values (which are in minutes)
Adjusted default global NPC movement speeds in [speedup} section of uox.ini to use less extreme values
Added a DEBUGMOVEMULTIPLIER define in cChar.cpp used to multiply NPC movement delays by the specified value (1.75 by default) when running UOX3 in debug mode, due to reduced server performance in debug mode
Documentation updates:
Added section on DFN tags for Character, Item, Region, SpawnRegion and Weather DFNs.
Added Feature documentation for Mining and customizable ores

Added StringUtility file with general common string manipulation functions (punt)
Updated RandomNum function to use a "seedless" random number generator from C++11 instead of the old C rand() function. (punt)
Overall code cleanup to remove/replace platform-dependent code (punt)
Replaced potentially unsafe usage of C string stuff like sprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf, strncat, strcpy and strlen throughout the code with calls to a format() function containing only a single, safe use of vsnprintf, ensuring there's a single place of failure if there's anything to fix and and making it easy to potentially replace this with std::format from C++20 when the time comes. (punt)
Replaced usage of char in many places with std::string (punt)
Started process of replacing UString usage with functions provided through StringUtility instead (punt)
Replaced platform specific fileIO handling in Windows/Linux with cross-platform C++17 standard std::filesystem (punt)
Replaced platform specific time handling by using cross-platform chrono library (punt)
Removed UOX namespace to reduce complexity (punt)
Elimitated template code approach to singletons for more modern c++ constructs, removing dependices in the process (punt)

Removed some platform specific files like uoxlinux.h, which is no longer required (punt)
Removed legacy crash protection code, and removed support for cluox (punt)
Removed legacy "support" for Borland compiler (punt)

Replaced parsing of UOX.INI tags with a system that's more easily maintainable (punt)
Added some new commands to js/commands/custom/misc-cmd.js (Xuri)
cont // Targeted item will be made a container, set to nondecay and movable 2
endfight // Targeted character (and character being fought) will stop fighting
getmulti // Get multiObject for targeted item
finditem // Find item at layer X
movespeed // Set movement speed of target player (0x0 Normal, 0x1 Mounted, 0x2 Slow (walk only), 0x3 Hybrid ("jog"?), 0x4 Frozen)
Added new HTML based documentation in docs folder, and removed many old legacy docs that are either incorporated into this document already or no longer relevant for the current UOX3 version (Xuri)
Co-Authored-By: Charles Kerr <punt1959@users.noreply.github.com>
Improvements to handling of UOP format; now takes a cleaner approach, loads files faster (punt)
Fixed a issue in JS/COMMANDS/TARGETING/add.js that would display 'undefined' in system message when adding raw/base items
Updated default jail time in JS/COMMANDS/TARGETING/jail.js (and in code) from 100000 seconds to 86400 seconds (24 hours)
All references in code and scripts to "midi" changed to "music", to reflect fact that modern clients don't actually even have midi files. This change covers both GM commands, DFN tags in regions.dfn and JS methods/properties.
Added new socket property for storing temporary int in JS - tempInt2
Added new socket property for storing temporary object in JS - tempObj2
Expanded XGO command in JS/COMMANDS/TARGETING/x.js to support optional world and instance parameters
Fixed an issue that prevented characters from vanishing from the the sight of players when teleporting to a different instance
Added support for ClassicUO client's WorldMap tracking packet (0xf0) for guildmembers/partymembers. This is the same packet as Razor uses for feature negotiation, so merged the handling of those two packets together into CPIKrriosClientSpecial, which can also be extended to handle other uses of this packet.
Added new UOX.INI setting whether shard should respond to ClassicUO client's WorldMap tracking packets for guildmembers/partymembers
CLASSICUOMAPTRACKER=0
Embraced the usage of R32, R64, SI16, UI16, SI32, UI32, SI64 and UI64 typedef aliases as replacement for built-in types throughout the sourcecode:
typedef float R32;
typedef double R64;
typedef signed char SI08;
typedef unsigned char UI08;
typedef signed short int SI16;
typedef unsigned short int UI16;
typedef signed int SI32;
typedef unsigned int UI32;
typedef signed long long SI64;
typedef unsigned long long UI64;
As part of this process, UI32 was redefined from unsigned long int to unsigned int, and SI32 from signed long int to signed int to ensure the size of variables using these remain the same (32bit) across both Windows, Linux and MacOS for both 32bit and 64bit platforms
Replaced instances of toLong() with toInt(), and toULong() to toUInt()
Replaced instances of "long" and "int" with SI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "unsigned long" and "unsigned int" with UI32 where possible
Replaced instances of "float" with R32 where possible
Misc code and documentation cleanup:
Updated and standardized function comment blocks throughout entire codebase
Grouped getters and setters together in pairs and documented them as one
Removed empty and/or non-useful information from comment blocks
Removed unused function from cItem.cpp/h - IncID() - formerly used to change IDs for doors
Added new feature - Instances
Objects (characters, items, multis, spawnregions) can now make use of a 5th parameter to determine their location in the game world. In addition to the traditional X, Y, Z and WORLDNUMBER parameters, a new one has been added - INSTANCEID - that allows objects to exist at the same coordinates in the same world, but in different "dimensions". Code has been updated in multiple places to support this, and a default instanceID of 0 is assumed if nothing else is specified.
Added support for new DFN tag in town regions, spawn regions and locations - INSTANCEID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Added support for another start location parameter after worldNum in UOX.INI representing instanceID (defaults to 0 if not present)
Updated TWEAK menu to include WorldNumber and instanceID
Fixed BaseWeight option in TWEAK menu
Updated CBase_Teleport - now takes an optional 5th parameter instanceID
Updated SE_SpawnNPC now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindMulti now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_GetItem now takes an optional 5th parameter - instanceID
Updated SE_FindItem now takes an optional 6th parameter - instanceID
Added new JS property for Items, Characters, Regions: .instanceID
Added JS property for Regions: .members - returns comma-separated list of town member serials
